How can I get my computer my external USB drive (portfolio) after that I repeatedly get the message that the device "can not be removed?

Original title: I need a market to resolve the problem remove the instrument.

How can I get my computer my external USB drive (portfolio) after that I repeatedly get the message that the device "can not be removed? I have closed all other programs and waited for varying amounts of time, and tried all of the fixes that have been proposed on this site. Nothing works. I don't want to turn off the computer whenever I have to remove the device.

I can't know what "all patches" you've tried, but:

Make sure that the system restore does not monitor the external drive.  SR does need to control the system drive and to the system drive, SR has only about 1 GB of space max.  Make a right click my computer and select properties then the System Restore tab to configure SR.

Make sure that the Indexing Service is turned off (at least for the external drive).  To disable disk indexing completely, which will also speed up your computer a bit, see http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp.  For the external drive, right-click on the drive icon in my computer, select properties and uncheck the indexing disc

There are different workarounds short to shut down the computer, but you might want to try this third-party app first:
http://safelyremove.com/index.html  Among other features:

The device cannot be stopped now. Why? Never encountered the situation when Windows does not allow you to remove a device? Unlike Windows, USB remove will show you programs which prevent the device to be stopped and let you close these programs or just files that they opened on the device.

    We recommend that people not me there. It has not proven reliable long-term. Start a new backup on the TC and keep the USB stick in the form of archive. After a few months or a year you won't have it.

    You have to understand the Time Machine backup otherwise locally the CF network. It is easy enough to move the backup network local but much harder the other way around.

  • When the computer is turned off to stop is no longer the Vista 64 external USB Drive (SeaGate/Maxtor)

    Vista 64 - bit SP2. TB external Maxtor OneTouch 4 drive, worked well, now he wants to run continuously. The USB disk drive does not stop when I go through the steps to Remove material for it, then shut down the computer normally. Or the last step of the computer stops the disk external closing. Now the external hard drive keeps spinning, I don't know about the heads of read/write being parked or not and the white light comes on. This disk is used for the storage of photos; 30 backups; and several databases. I can't wait to have the drive platters turning 24 x 7, and I can't confirm that the read/write heads were parked safely. The error message associated with this question is below in bold. The player is now like the rabbit, continuous running.

    Diagnosis of Maxtor for this drive have been executed successfully.

    Maxtor check driver indicates that the driver is the most recent.

    Device driver Vista says the car is fine. I checked that the drive can read and write. Different backups have been recorded on this disc. I have not tried a restore because of this problem.

    Maxtor says that there is not any change in firmware pending for this drive.

    Seem like a command to close jammed somehow being sent on disk.

    Apparently the Maxtor One Touch USB Device, property, to optimize for quick removal of the external drive, you just completely shut down the computer and the external hard drive finished last (no need to use the hardware logic safely remove). The other option here is "optimized for performance (you must use the material logic safely remove) to turn off the player."

    These flags are defined in the Device Manager-online records-online Mass storage Drive L:

    Anyway, you try to stop the external hard drive, it will fail with the following error message:

    "Windows can't stop your 'Generic Volume' device because he's busy." Try again later. " Or a statement to this effect."

    The only software running when the error is Vista 64 bit and the logic of trying to stop the player.

    Thanks for any help you might be able to offer. Bill Sullens

    Hi Bill,

    Thanks for the detailed explanation

    I you suggest to activate the clean boot and then test to see if this works very well as expected

    Step 1: Put the computer in a clean boot

    Follow step 1 in the link below,

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

    Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

    After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

    Important: n ' forget not the computer to start normal follow step 7 in the link.

  • How to transfer data from laptop to external hard drive?

    How to transfer data from laptop to external hard drive?

    my model is vgn-cr323.

    Thanks in advance

    Let me provide you with General information on how you can transfer data from your computer to an external drive.

    To transfer the data, plug the USB cable into the correct port. Usually, your computer will know that he has a new disc attached and a pop box up will warn you. It will scan to determine what to do with the new connection and your computer will assign a drive letter (for example, drive G: and so on.) This will allow you to transfer data to the external hard drive just like you would move files on your internal hard drive.

    Once you have the USB cable plugged into your computers port (and the other end plugs into the external drive) you can now start to save files you want on the external hard drive.

    Open the item (s) or folder (s) you want to transfer or save on your external hard drive. There are two ways to save external hard disk 1). If you have only one or two things to save, you can open each item, click on file / record under... and choose the letter/drive (for example, drive G corresponding to that of your external hard drive, click Save.) This he recorded on the external hard drive.
